Somebody asked Aba to help me, but why? Ever since I transmigrated to this world I haven't seen many allies willing to help Young Wyatt. Why do they want to be discreet about their involvement and why use Aba Windsor of all people?
"The person I speak of is known as the Untaintable legend of Morning Star university," Aba answered. She had become keener in answering me seeing how it was the only thing keeping Anna from asking her to change into a different embarrassing costume.
"Untaintable legend, I have heard of her. She rose to power at Morning Star university very fast. Why would someone like her ask a third-rate mercenary group like yours for help?" Anna asked Aba.
"What do you mean the third-rate mercenary group? We have 23 semi-demigods and 103 card emperors in our group." Aba argued with Anna.
"Most of them are retainers of your father just like your bodyguard Agatha over here. And others mostly joined the mercenary group to gain safe haven under Demigod Windsor's banner." Anna seemed to know a lot about Aba's Wolf Fang mercenary group. And added, "Tell me Aba, what does your mercenary group do for income? Or does your daddy pay all the wages, bills, and expenses?"
"My mercenary group is still young and it is barely six months old. We are still in group training and team-building sessions. When we are ready we have different projects waiting for us." Aba spoke in her mercenary group's defense.
"I bet Demigod Windsor's name opens up a lot of doors. And what do you mean by barely six months old, I clearly remember you asking me to join your mercenary group way before that." Anna revealed.
Despite her reputation as a party girl, Anna's personal strength was known to everyone in her circle. At a party a few months ago Aba invited Anna to be one of the founding members of her wolf fang group. As the commander of the southern watch, Anna found it an insult to be part of a mercenary group so she rejected Aba's invitation mercilessly. Aba took Anna's rejection to heart, the feeling of being insulted in front of many people wasn't pleasant so she refuted Anna and things got heated up. Finally, Demigod Windsor had to walk in and bail his daughter out.
"My mercenary group doesn't require me to use my father's name to get projects. For your information, our first client is going to be Morning star university. The university has contracted us to escort students that have passed college entrance exams from remote locations to the university. Every year these students are targeted by people of demon cults and fanatics from the empire. But not this year because we will be there to stop them." Aba proudly announced the first project of her mercenary team. She was proud because she got this project without the help of her Demigod father's reputation.
"No wonder you were willing to entertain Untaintable Legend's request to help Wyatt. Correct me if I am wrong in exchange for you helping Wyatt, Untaintable legend promised your mercenary group the project." Anna explained the part of the riddle about why Aba would be willing to help me.
"So what? Somebody was bound to get the project, we got the job because we promised to do extra work. What is wrong with that?" Aba justified that she had to some promises to get the Morning Star university project.
"Can somebody fill me in on who Untaintable Legend is and why did she go as far as to bride you to help me?" I asked Aba and Anna.
"Well, Untaintable legend's identity is a mystery but she surfaced about four years ago. She defeated all the talents in the Morning star university and other nine top universities.
The most interesting thing to notice about her is that she climbed to card emperor real from the card scholar realm in just 3 years. There is even a betting pool going on in the central academic region, that Untaintable legend is going to break the record of Demigod Baylor and become the youngest Demigod ever.
Currently, she is one of the most influential students at the Morning Star university as the student body president. That is how she can assign a few projects of the university to Aba's third-rate mercenary group.
Our Southern watch has been keeping an eye on her as a potential recruit, now that we know she has some connection with you it makes our job easier." Anna narrated all the information she had on Untaintable Legend. And how the Southern watch was trying to recruit her.
"..." Hearing Anna say that Southern watch was trying to recruit Untaintable Legend, Aba had a victorious smile on her face. She knew something more than what Anna speculated.
"If the Untaintable Legend is so influential in the Morning Star university can't she help me directly instead of using this shorty's help to help me?" I really didn't understand Untaintable Legend's intentions for me.
"Hm… isn't the answer obvious? She doesn't want her enemies to get to you. One of the reasons Untaintable legend has been able to hold her position in the university is because of her mysterious background. Nobody knows who she is. Except that the university vouched for her identity. Therefore it was difficult for the outside forces to influence her. Now if her enemies find out that she is jumping hoops for you, you will be in danger and potentially become her Achilles heel." Anna explained. This was only an assumption assuming that Untaintable Legend was my ally and not an enemy. Though there wasn't any evidence to point otherwise.
"I understand that she is trying to hide her interest in me but why choose this blabbermouth? She revealed everything in a single heartbeat." I didn't understand why Untaintable Legend chose Aba over other options. There should have been more suitable candidates for this job than Aba.
"Because Shorty here is the Perfect Patsy."
